Swartz the Democratic candidate ... for a Democratic candidate who has campaigned actively on the social issues the Democrats in the past ... use to avoid ... at a party where anecdotally ... you heard from reporters ... waiting at the polls in large numbers of people coming out saying ... I used to be a Republican but the party left me ... it's a pretty worrisome sign ... if the Virginia which has been tilting ... away from the Republican party towards a more competitive state ... and now with the growth in the northern part of the state ... maybe just reading a little bit towards the Democrats ... and until further in that direction is so worrisome thing for Republicans looking to win presidential elections in the future ... now need only look the Chris Christie it's one thing to win a race in New Jersey it's another thing to win all over the country ... when I run the campaign trail ... Nissan Irani chai to pull off the whole moderate thing he couldn't you make me do you think ... me all the modern Republic unique and ween in places like IUI and South Carolina and the places you need to win actually ... the teachers you ... on your age to rein in those two states ... on that preceded it ministers to dinner to ... go on to win the nomination ... when to ... nomination for Chris Christie and is no doubt ... about it today ... with the biggest since the summer purse the momentum and props the best case ... that the party has the make and it's very possible we look there's all ... that he may win more abuse than and conferences in New Jersey and George W Bush did with taxes spending power ... in nineteen ninety eight that he may win a third so African Americans ... what Republicans did one thing has done the reason is that ... so they have a real ... mandate to keep them wanting to use that tired and just by dint of his governing sought all ... managed to get this kind of a big coalition in the one thing it's a system on how to use it to look at their ... physicians point by point to preclude on social issues ... real difference between Chris Christie and intentionality ... Christie about emphasize social issues ... and you've been able to check for a month what he wants to be about and to define him self interest and things like ... superstorm Sandy helped in that ... but he also took advantage of it is healthy and righteousness tools that are good for some along with a normal anything showing that GOP mean looking at someone like Chris Christie is a model for how to broaden the base ... well no question of what you're looking for is to win elections which is our garden variety ... definition of a political party ... Chris Christie is a far more attractive candidate than almost any other ... of the possible candidates out there ... the problem Republicans have is that the driving force in the party is not focused primarily on winning elections ... they're focused on promoting an agenda ... and urging the party to some degree of those who don't follow it ... I'm you know it's it's almost the remarkable now that we think of Chris Christie is a moderate is Neil suggested ... it he would've been considered quite conservative back in the day ... but he's what passes for a moderate if you look at every other potential presidential candidate out there ... Marco Rubio kid at Ted Cruz ... Rand Paul ... even Paul Ryan ... all of them voted against the deal that kept us from going into default ... which is a signal on their part ... that they're still looking to the radical right wing of the Republican party ... not the center as Chris Christie is and that's probably a loser for them ... to be a winner for him ... write more more and see the main data and Neil King Ottawa siege at all things being here ... thank you for ... it's still early and a selection David Democrat buildable Ozzie and the odds-on favorite to become your next mayor and for Mr. the blot CEO the real challenge is likely come in January when the next mayor takes the reigns America's largest city ... Michael salting the simpler ... I might go on ... sale of ... the CLA ... is coming in as the former New York City public advocate ... the trend and management experience and that's what the voters and really been looking and then let's look at some of the concerns ... the nurse ... that we're facing now ... suggests that we need a grown up ... on ... so when you get a statement ... you know it's a bit coming ... from interracial family ... already ... coming from ... I ... they did in ... the city ... center ... it's cute ... the possibility that ... it would be businessmen and women ... to do the job of running a book written that he was sitting ... Delta ... Cities uhh nn a ... stunning thing happened to blot CEO convince voters that he has the ... chops ... well I mean he's been accused throughout the campaign is being untested in fact the matter is that he doesn't have a whole lot of ... experience but when asked about this he argues ... that he is on the white side of issues and what matters for New Yorkers is to ... try to ... narrow the gap between rich and the four to improve relations between community and ... the police department to increase taxes on the wealthy ... so they cannot pay for pre kindergarten programs after school programs ... to it says is right on the issues and maybe a little weak on on the resume ... if you believe the polls it seems like New Yorkers are fun but ... somewhat easy for some the things we can see Annie and I see it in a nice day ... I'm the one and yet when it is our top ... campaign initiatives is to increase taxes on the wealthy to pay for these pre kindergarten after school programs and ... you'll be going to Albany to try to convince lawmakers and Gov Cuomo who endorsed him ... to move forward without it's can be really tough offer him because ... it's election year and the folks up in Albany are not interested in ... raising taxes but to ... many ways of being in a very early first test of the new mayor's political chops in a sign of the huge turnout in your other senses twenty eight and is the next hearing for something of a reality check Ally deftly think that the next winners in for a reality check and the bottom line is ... that the current mayor has reduced crime in New York City due to record lows is this is an enormous city for three and two thousand employees seventy billion dollar budget ... um this is a really complex city to manage and ... it'll be a huge pass for up to the incoming mayor is a big difference between campaigning for job and actually doing the job and ... will see oh yes and yes I know one thing it's challenging the next mayor is likely to face my testy at seventy ... four at the outset I Mayor Bloomberg is felt to negotiate contracts with all one hundred and fifty three ... bargaining units and in the city ... and that's a huge hole lead on ... the city's budget and down the taxpayers have to negotiate his contract and somehow on balance the budget ... so the challenge Michael something to mean here ... oh what the actual potato chip anyway will tell you I mean actual able and disappearing when we come back ... Tce ... I it's an antique a quick look at the market ... saying I think that we see it's down about twenty point zero point one three percent ... move in ready when the Nasdaq up just a touch screen twenty seven points though point eight percent and the SNP now stand down a little less than five points ... a lot of movement ... we dividend date for Micra soft PC is up twenty seven ferrying two percent hitting a fifty two week high in afternoon trading ... so it's a natural fit movement that natural label is quietly disappearing from everything from detention center the screen as more companies get slapped with lawsuits ... over what makes the few natural in the first place ... Mike Astral joins us in Atlanta with more D tells Hi my ... yet I ... did tell me what in the natural for you ... will that ... that is the subject of great debate and a lot of days taking place in that ... in in in lawsuits and in courtrooms these days ... aam there is no formal definition for now so when it comes to the FDA is look at it often on ... from over last couple decades to have some rough guidelines ... um but it's a can of worms that they've really had one open until now ... so with a lack of a formal definition for notch when it comes to drinks ... that open the door to a lot of lawsuits ... and say look how funny is actually calling this an actual word on the labels entirely where we can see this disappear ... well we we seen that ... the right now it's the it's a trickle it's un clear that in turn into a flight on but there's been a few examples and in recent months aam ... and some three large settlements also ... on consumer lawsuits ... there's that that Pepsi those being served the forefront of this ... um they spend a lot of money reformulated potato chips including Lay's potato chips ... in two thousand eleven ... but the all natural that label on the onthe product out soon ... and then quietly removed a ... aam earlier this year they treat pay nine million dollars to settle another ... ad dispute involving its May Get conference uses the Tulsa had gone out to label on a ... slimmer version from those products ... aam there's that Harbors bakery up in cereal the seller ... has removed all natural in recent weeks from its packaging ... I've goldfish crackers by Campbell Soup Company ... had national from the packaging is being removed these are all examples of companies that are ... dealing with litigation ... and my niece having putting on the label instead it right and Ryan a consumers to rein in a natural fit ... well and all of them are still are keeping our salon in and out and down and not planning to remove it ... aam and that some are reconsidering some of the words are showing up their very popular these days I aam ... symbol or simply ... Tom Campbell soup that ... is phasing out its a hundred percent natural ... some see the line and replacing with something called home style ... aam say hearing a lot of the words of Round farm and you know ... that the earth down but not natural ...
